Strength Prediction of Laminated Composites upon Independent Constituent Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

To predict ultimate strength of a laminated composite subjected to any load only using its constituent fiber and matrix properties measured independently, three challenging problems must be resolved with high success. First, internal stresses in the fiber and matrix must be accurately determined. Second, efficient failure detection for laminae and laminate upon the internal stresses must be achieved. Last but not the least, input data for the in-situ strengths of the constituents must be defined correctly from their original counterparts, as the former, different from the latter, are immeasurable. This presentation briefly summarizes our work on the targeted subject. All of the three issues have been systematically addressed with reasonable success.
